If you grew up before then, like Reagan, you NW are a racist. But then I am too. (I wonder long it will take for this to be taken out of context.)

Though not as old as you, I do remember things from the 50s and the term racist was used back then and meant the same as it does today. One who looks down upon another, because of their color, ethnic or national origin and could even be applied to someone because of their religion.

I think the prior three are self-supporting, so I will only give an example of Racism based upon religion. The questions about President John F. Kennedy during the campaign and his time in office; his being a papist and the influence the Vatican would have over the US because Kennedy was Catholic.
